IPL 2020: Three players Sunrisers Hyderabad might target in upcoming auction

Robin Uthappa:

SRH have a settled pair of openers in the form of David Warner and Jonny Bairstow, but they are highly reliant on the duo and if they don’t plan an alternative, they might face difficulties.

Having a backup opener will be helpful for the management as well as the captain, and Robin Uthappa could be the solution.

The best part about Uthappa is that the batsman can bat in the middle order as well, so if SRH feel that they need a middle order batsman, they wouldn’t have to panic as the 34-year-old will fit in perfectly.

Glenn Maxwell:

SRH has quality all-rounders like Mohammad Nabi and Rashid Khan, who have enough fire power. But there are no power hitters, and this is where the team lacks.

Sunrisers need an attacking batsman who takes minimum time to settle and can uplift the lower middle order and Australia’s Maxwell fits perfectly for this role.

If SRH goes with Maxwell, then their big problem of not having a strong lower middle order will be addressed.

Sheldon Cottrell:

The West Indies pacer adds a different dimention to the bowling unit. The natural angle that he creates always troubles the right-hander batsmen. He can swing the ball both ways and can bowl at death overs too.

The action of his helps him to deliver perfect yorkers, and that’s the reason why he becomes difficult to hit.

Untill last season, Bhuvneshwar Kumar was the go to bowler during the death, but he is struggling to get back in form, so having Cottrell will help the team as well as the vetran bowler.
